Virtual Quilting Weekend -- April 17-19
 

Good morning all! Sorry I'm late getting this thread started. I've been up and busy but in the kitchen. I hope many will be able to join in quilting this weekend. For newbies, we share what we're working on and post pictures if possible. Many quilters gain new ideas for projects from these weekends because we never have enough to work on already! Any questions, please just ask :)

I have several projects in process that I will hopefully complete this weekend. Can't wait to see what all of you are working on.

I am so sorry I won't be participating this weekend, but both my daughters and grandson (all who live out of town) will be visiting all weekend. Have fun without me and get LOTS done!!

What a coincidence....my DD is working from home today...so i am not watching the grand-baby.....started at my first project already. Hoping to get my place mats of the month for May done and then to make progress on the quilt for DGD's teacher. Thanks for hostessing once again Heather....can't wait to see what everyone's working on.

I'm not sure how much sewing I will be able to achieve this weekend, but will be working on the GFG quilt only have 8 more flowers to encircle and a few PHD's. I have a table runner I'm quilting and a few place mats to finish and a Christmas present for my brother

Oh goody! Hope this encourages me to finish off the machine quilting in my fatcatpatterns penguin quilt. I'm also working on hand quilting a sun bonnet sue. If the weather here is as good as the forecast I might have a hard time staying inside to quilt! Look forward to everyone's photos.
dedemac - great projects!

Yep, I'm in! Working on hand stitching the binding to the back side of my Jane Stickle quilt and doing more machine work on the Hunter's Star! Lovely spring weather in the PNW, so will take many fresh air breaks!
Please enjoy whatever you do today!

I'm in, been raining here the last couple of days and supposed to continue thru the weekend. Ill be staying in and working on a bargello, then am basting hexies among other projects.

I am finishing up things for a baby shower tomorrow. Love looking in to see what everyone is working on.

I'm working on a bargello for my parents because they are away this weekend and I'm making it for them in secret. Cut all my strips this morning using my lovely sizzix and have joined one set of strips together. I have 4 more sets to join tomorrow and then get everything hidden away in time for their return! I even got my friend to take away the offcuts to throw away so that my parents wouldn't find them in the bin! If I manage to get all my strips joined tomorrow I'll post a picture :-D

Love seeing what everyone's working on so keep the pictures coming!

Dedemac, your gfg is beautiful! It'll be fabulous!

Kitsie, love the red and white, awesome colour combination!

I am working on a table runner for a wedding in May. I have to get it done by Monday. Today I am putting the borders on and tomorrow will be quilting. Hopefully Sunday I can get the binding done. Will post a photo when the borders are done. Also working on an applique chicken for the local senior quilt show that is also in May. Wish I could find some energy in a bottle. Oh to be young again.

some nice work already.i'll pop in if the weather isns t nice.

I just now finished the top for the April Aurifil mini. I want to finish it this weekend. I was determined my theme would be April showers and the design worked with my already chosen fabrics.

Sorry it is slightly fuzzy. Trying to take a photo around two inquisitive felines seems to be getting harder every day.

I have some fabric ice dyeing in the kitchen sink and I hope to also get a tote made this weekend. So, for me, great weekend to have a virtual quilting weekend.

I'm seeing some great projects being shown off so far.

Love everyone's projects so far. I just finished the blocks for this patchwork in a lattice/trellis/argyle/whoknows summer quilt, it'll have a flannel backing, no batting and SITD. I'll probably do three borders to attain the size I need (queen) but will wait to see once they're all sewn together:

I have one quilt that needs a binding, and I need to add a couple more jelly roll strips to my "Target" quilt. There's a new neighbor baby too....

OH WOW....a DJ.???? Have you posted a picture of it yet... I'd LOVE to see it. And your Hunger's star is a beauty !

SO many pretty things showing up already !!

Yes, Penni, I've posted many pictures of her! Took about a year off, but its been a journey in which every day (almost!) brings a new challenge! Many of my pictures were posted, but here are a couple. A few weeks should bring a post with a picture of the finished "lady"! Will be a very bitter-sweet day but at least "she" will be just 6 feet away from my recliner!

Lovely work every, Kitsie your quilts are exquisite!

I just started my DJ in February. I hope mine is as lovely as yours.

I love it!

Love the quilts that have been pictured. The Hunter's Star is very pretty. I worked on two different quilts yesterday, the quilting is finished. Just need to do the binding which will hopefully be tomorrow afternoon. Today I'm headed to a Sew In sponsored by our guild so I have a bag full of projects to work on. So I won't be checking back in until late this afternoon. Hope everyone has a wonderful productive day and all the sewing machines work flawlessly :)

I have read these post for fun and I think I will join in. I have a lot to do. I need to work on a skateboard quilt I am making for a grandson who is graduating from High school. I have lots of other projects planned-so I'd best get busy!

Aww, I have to work this weekend :( I will check in to see everyone else's projects though. Sew on ladies & gents!

I've just finished the 3rd of the 5 strip sets for my secret bargello, but I've run out of thread, so I've had to pack it away for now and will get the last 2 done the next time my parents are away. Please excuse the wrinkley fabric, I haven't pressed them yet as I need to work out which direction to press in and will do it when I've got them all sewn!

Now don't laugh......I am going to make a quilted toilet seat cover.....

I'm working on two different quilt tops at this time Hope to get some borders on these this weekend. Also got up and drafted an 8" pinwheel block that I seen in a quilt last night. Might have to make a quilt of these "some day" LOL[ATTACH=CONFIG]517256[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]517257[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]517258[/ATTACH]

Such great projects!, I'm working away at making my black hexies and running errands with DH, It's finally a nice weekend and we don't have anything planed until six tonight so will have some sewing time after the yard work. More pictures please:).

Okay I won't laugh...but can I at least grin?

Sissty88, your blues are wonderful!

Love the bargello blues too!

Everyone's projects are fantastic.....and a laugh did escape when I read the quilted toilet seat cover, I'd really like to see a pic of that. :)

The penguin quilt is finished and put away now until next winter.... it's a gorgeous sunny day here so had a lovely walk, now going to see Pinocchio at the local Arts Theatre.... all the home schooled students are putting the performance on. [ATTACH=CONFIG]517302[/ATTACH]

Do you have a pattern? I could make some for Christmas gifts.

Love it! I have this on my to-do list.

Took a break from laundry and will quilt a bit more of this one.
This is not a UFO for a change, just pieced it last month. It's nice to take a break from all the UFOs and work on something new :o)
Love to see everyone's projects!

I just finished the binding on this baby quilt for a friend. It's blue in colour although I haven't taken a picture of the finished project![ATTACH=CONFIG]517307[/ATTACH]

Had a great time at the guild's sew in today (and enjoyed some delicious snacks!). I finished a table runner top, the blocks for a quilt, and sewed together strips for two other projects. Hope to finish a couple of those projects tomorrow afternoon after church. See you then.

such beautiful works of art from everyone. didn't work much today on anything. it was nice so I went to a small zoo by us to go see all the animals. LOVE that penguin one.

Oh, so many lovely things being worked on! I may have to put the penguins on my "to do" list, along with a tree skirt.

Sisty88, great fabrics. I am working on a Surf Song bargello by Eileen Wright. Here is my progress so far ... it will be a lap size quilt.

Beautiful bargello fabric choices!

We HAVE to see a picture of this when it's done!

Lovely projects and photos! Chester, love your Smoky Mountain Stars. I made that pattern with old shirts too, and it's my favorite snuggle quilt for the couch.

I made 4-patch posey blocks all day. They are so much fun and addictive! Now I have to plan some interesting sashing to do them justice.
